Our Florida Gators vs Florida State Seminoles Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Florida has no reason not to blow out Florida State in their latest encounter. Florida has won by double digits in 3 of their last 4 games. The defending NCAA champion still has one of the loaded rosters in the NCAAB, led by Thomas Haugh, who averages almost 20 points per game in 2 games. It would be a miracle if Florida State finds a way to win this one or even keep the final score close given the Gators’ sheer talent in their lineup.
Our betting prediction for Florida State Seminoles vs. Florida Gators: Florida Gators to cover -18.5 points
